Signs Point to Steve Kerr Exit From Warriors as Decision Window Opens

Team leaders want a quick answer with a multiyear commitment if he returns.

Overview

  • Following Friday's season-ending Play-In loss to the Suns, Steve Kerr said he would take about one to two weeks before meeting ownership to decide his future.
  • Draymond Green said on his podcast Monday that he hopes Kerr returns but believes he will not, citing the emotion of their late-game huddle with Stephen Curry.
  • ESPN reporting says management prefers a multiyear deal if Kerr stays and wants staff and style tweaks, including a more varied offense and better control of possessions.
  • Local reporting from NBC Sports Bay Area indicates Kerr is unlikely to return without a change of heart, though formal big-picture talks are expected in the coming days.
  • If Kerr departs, team sources expect a wide coaching search and a possible organizational reset, with GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. under a new extension and several assistants in flux after Chris DeMarco left for the New York Liberty.
